Sussex Writers and Artists

"Sussex Writers & Artists" is a set of brief, brisk yet entertaining biographies of writers and artists with a Sussex connection gathered together under the selective eye of Edward Lucie-Smith.

Not all of them were born in the county, not all of them even wrote about it, or made art about it, but its shaping spirit touched all of their lives in some way.

From the seedy squalor of Graham Greene's "Brighton" to the sunlit innocence of "Winnie the Pooh's Ashdown Forest", from Eric Gill's erotic line to Turner's lyrical recreation of "Petworth Park", "Sussex Writers & Artists" looks at the impact that the county made on the creative muse.

Reading these brief biographies will make you want to re read each writer's words, seek out each artist's work, and look at Sussex with new eyes.
